Abstract
An approach to generate a path for minimally sufficient explanations for improving model understanding. Data is received from a user. The data is iteratively processed to generate minimally sufficient explanations based on the input data and the input of a subsequent explanation determination is constrained to the output of a prior explanation determination.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating minimally sufficient explanations for a differentiable model, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, data and a model;
- and
- generating, by the one or more processors, a plurality of sufficient explanations based on input of the data to the model wherein successive input is of decreasing size based on being constrained by a Path-Sufficient Explanations (PSE) algorithm until a minimally sufficient explanation predetermined threshold is exceeded.
A computer program product for generating minimally sufficient explanations for a differentiable model, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive data and a model;
- and
- program instructions to generate a plurality of sufficient explanations based on input of the data to the model wherein successive input is of decreasing size based on being constrained by a Path-Sufficient Explanations (PSE) algorithm until a minimally sufficient explanation predetermined threshold is exceeded.
A computer system for generating minimally sufficient explanations for a differentiable model, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive data and a model;
- and
- program instructions to generate a plurality of sufficient explanations based on input of the data to the model wherein successive input is of decreasing size based on being constrained by a Path-Sufficient Explanations (PSE) algorithm until a minimally sufficient explanation predetermined threshold is exceeded.
